ill(
英
)
或
sick (
美
)
。
如:

be ill / sick
生病
2. ill
表示“有病的”时,一般不用作定语,但当它表示“坏的

”、“有害的
(= harmful)
”等义时,却只能作定语,不能作表语。

Dear Sir or Madam,
I believe that children should do some chores at home. I disagree that children’s only job is to study hard and do well at school. Of course it is important for children to study hard. However, I think it is unfair for children to expect their parents to work hard outside and do all the household chores, too. I think children should at least do some simple chores to help their busy parents.
Example
For example, they should make their own beds and clean their own rooms because they are the ones who use these. They may not have time to help with the other parts of the house, but they should try to be responsible for their own area. This will help them to grow up to be independent and responsible adults.
Yours truly,
Chen Shi
